Endearingly accessible, quirkily provocative, and jaggedly alluring – The Evening Standard

This radical version of Hamlet creates sudden moments of text-illuminating beauty, whether it is Schut’s poetry-charged film of Claudius poisoning Hamlet’s father, or the moment when a funeral procession passes solemnly behind the arches at the bottom of the BAC’s main staircase.

This is the ultimate post-modern Hamlet – epitomised in the instant when Hamlet himself throws around handfuls of the play’s text while shouting: “Words, words, words.” Endearingly accessible, quirkily provocative, and jaggedly alluring. Rachel Halliburton
